Probably the most important rule in te World Series of Poker this year is the so-called „ten-level rule”. It means that in the WSOP 2011 all event will be ended after a maximum of ten levels of playing on a given day. Almost everyone is satisfied with the idea – except the players themselves. When the idea aroused at the very first time, it was obvious that it has a potential of extending some events to an extra day, but it wasn’t expected that many of the players wouldn’t be happy with about it.

The special rule was applied first time in strange circumstances at Event #4 – $5000 No Limit Holdem won by Allen Bari. The 3rd day of the event started with 42 players and however the final table were set soon, the players were informed that they needed to play until the winner left or the ten levels of the days were completed.. Although all players wanted to finish the day and leave the final table to the next one, the tournament staff forced them to continue playing. The tournament went on and the day finished around 3:30 am with four player returning the following day to wrown the bracelet winner.

This wasn’t the only final table that were affected by the ten-level rule. At Event #8 – $1000 No Limit Holden only 3 players needed to return to the final day. Sean Getzwiller, Sadan Turker and Jon Turner didn’t really see any sense of the need to play a few extra hours instead of stopping at the final table and take a rest before that important moment of their life. At Event #11 – $10,000 Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better Championship George Lind III, Viacheslav Zhukov and Steve Billirakis were forced to finish their session and return to the following day.

Hearing the reflections of the players it’s obvious that they are not really happy with the new rule but WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel seems to be adamant to make even a small adjustment of the rules and said: “those players doesn’t know what’s right for them”. His statement already exposed some more changes of the future WSOP tournaments structure to add an extra to all events as usual on the other poker tournaments of the world such as EPT, APPT or WPT.
